It’s more than a gorgeous antique shop filled with amazing pieces!~It’s an adventure and a journey. Jessi Ryan opened and has been renovating In The Forest Of Time Antiques/ Vintage Memories for several years. I learned of him and his place through word of mouth and the experience others had was so magical, it drew me to visit. This space was going to be torn down and he saved it and made it his business and home. He has big plans for this space and I believe it’s a great gift to our community. As an energy healer, I feel this place affords calming, healing and transmuting energies. It’s a sacred space like a church or museum is intended to be. Jessi holds energy as well and to visit his shop is to get a dose of this medicine that leaves you changed forever.
Jessi was wonderful and very accommodating. He took the time to show me around and give the history on his property! I explained my vision for the space I was looking to furnish and he helped me find the perfect item. SO MANY beautiful pieces to explore. We will definitely be back again!
Stumbled upon this wonderful antique store while trying to find a unique piece for a TV stand. I cant say enough great things about this store. Really great pieces of furniture at a very reasonable price. Jessi is very passionate about his store and about antiques. He is also not trying to gouge you on prices, which is always a plus. He was a pleasure to talk to and I walked away with a beautiful piece for such a great price. Still proud of that find when I walk into our living room everyday. Thanks Jessi!
This place is pure magic! Eclectic vintage finds and the space is as unique as the items you will find waiting inside. The owner Jessi showed us around and explained thebuildings history. Cannot wait to revisit.He also told us he has big plans to host weddings and air bnb rentals. So cool!
What a great find and unique experience. We were just camping in the area and on a cloudy day looked for some area antiquing and this came up on Google.This huge old mill ( or is it a barn?) is packed with all kinds of nice old things for the home. The owner has been hard at work, lovingly restoring the old place and keeping it full of quality items, while allowing the structure to keep its old soul.Good luck, Jessi with your vision for your mill and community! We come up here every year, so well be checking in again!
I was already intrigued by the outside of the huge structure. When I pulled up, Jesse warmly greeted me then gave me a tour. The moment I walked in, I was in awe. He has an array of antiques and collectibles for sale. And even if thats not your interest, you should at least check this place out. Jesse gave me a rundown on the history. It felt like a museum with free admission. His lovely wife Bonnie greeted me with the same passion for the building and the antiques. Theyre doing an amazing job with it and cant wait to see what they do with thier future ideas.
A really fun place to visit. I remember when this old barn was completely full of junk. Not anymore! It is transformed to a curated selection of interesting fun things, all carefully arranged. Worth a stop, for sure.
We had such a lovely visit to this antique shop. The owner was very welcoming and kind, told us all about the history and showed us around. We got some beautiful items. He really has an eye for how to showcase these well-preserved antiques.
Its more than a shop, its an experience! Like traveling back in time, as the name perfectly suggests. The owner has curated a beautiful collection of items and staged them so artistically -- its absolutely breathtaking.
Great selection and beautiful place! Definitely worth a visit
Amazing place and the owners story is a great testament to having a passion to succeed at what you want to do in life. We will be back !
You have to stop here! Beautiful building, amazing antique furniture and clothing for reasonable prices and the most incredible hospitality. My boyfriend and I were driving back to NYC from New Hampshire and wanted to see if there were any antique spots across our route and we stumbled across In The Forest of Time. I am SO glad we did. This place is amazing. The building alone is incredible and worth a visit. Jessi told us all about the transformation of the place and it was really great talking to him and learning about the history. He keeps adding to his collection so I think it will always be an exciting place to check out. I cant wait to come back
I went here with my wife not sure what to expect. Jessi greeted us warmly when we arrived and even stayed open late when we called to ask if hed be open when we got there. When we first walked in, our reaction was just wow. Picture an enormous barn with sky-high ceilings, filled with truly antique treasures. Bed frames from the 1800s, antique textiles, abstract sculptures, smaller housewares--but all merchandised like an interactive museum. For the volume of stuff in the store, Jessi has truly done an amazing job laying it out and keeping it organized.Jessi has gone to extraordinary lengths to restore this building while keeping its original spirit intact. The amount of research he has done in this process is astonishing. His face completely lights up when he talks about his plans for the future of the store and its role in the community.I cant wait to see what The Forest of Time becomes. Jessis enthusiasm is so contagious. If you havent stopped by yet, youre missing out!
This is a total transformation ..Absolutely wonderful place I would recommend you to stop in and look around..Jessi has a great eye for his design and his displays are amazing..Thank for sharing the history of the building with us also.I cant wait to see the completion of the rest of your ideas..you have done a truly amazing job!!
This place is a must see. I had no idea walking through the doors, what an experience it would be. Jessi took the time to show us so many of the treasures he has to offer. The antique clothing is so well shown for each time period. The condition of each item is remarkable! Its easy to feel as though you are taken back in time, era by era, looking through each piece. The variety of furnishing from large to small is impressive. Jessi had taken this old neglected building and breather life back into it. He has transformed it into a place to treasure. I cant wait to go back again and again.
Love this shop. Such unique finds and a step back in time.
Highly recommend. Jesse’s store is one of a kind and worth the visit!
A must see for furniture lovers and restoration enthusiasts! What Jesse has done is nothing short of fantastic and I cant wait to see what he has planned next!
